Birthday thriller for minister as Michael Jackson drops in Gold braid, chaps doing funny walks and flunkeys bearing ceremonial hairbrushes are the things of everyday life at the Palace of Westminster, so in that sense a visit by Michael Jackson was hardly going to be a thriller.
U.S. pop star Michael Jackson smiles to the crowds from a stage at Exeter City Football Club in Devon June 14, 2002. Jackson, who is in Britain on a brief visit, took part in a charity fundraising event with Israeli psychic Uri Geller who is co-chairman of the football club. REUTERS/Darren Staples
Uri Geller and Michael Jackson..............hmmmm; one bends spoons, the other bends gender.
I wonder how much that cost him? Remember him paying to be refered to as "The King of Pop",and the fake marriage to Priscilla Presley? He/she/it/whatever pays for publicity stunts to keep the career alive,and the old girly-boy has had a hard time of it lately. His new album got almost 15 minutes of attention,and even the French have gotten tired of him. He's one step away from being a circus side-show freak.
This 'un needs a barf alert.
Good article on the Geller-Jackson friendship. Starts at paragraph 10.
The best way to measure a male's masculinity, or manliness, is by seeing how many females he attracts.
By that measure, M.Jackson is one of the most masculine men, if not the most masculine male in america, if not the world.
Everyone who criticizes M.Jackson, does not have even a tiny fraction of the number of M.Jackson woman admirers. Millions of females would do anything to be with him.
These females are not just fans, they want to be with him to date him, and go to bed with him.
I dare you to find any other male in the whole world that has so many females that are so hot for him.
QUESTION: What do Michael Jackson and K-Mart have in common?
ANSWER: They both have little boys underpants half off.
Even the Nightstalker had adoring fans. Heck, for that matter so did Chairman Mao, Adolph Hitler and Smiling Joe Stalin. I know that the Nightstalker was convicted of crimes, I'm not sure about the other three.
I don't think that this blatant (and likely expensive) charade orchestrated by the Jackson PR agents will carry over to sales. Jackson is a barely recognizable washed-up has-been from 1983, and nothing is going to change that.
